COMM UNAllZE THE LAND.

"What we ought to do is to convey
the fee simple and absolute ownership
from the landlords to the communal All
thority which represents the whole Of
the househoders on the land. The eX
isting tenants would pay what is now
rent as land tax to the local authority"
Such is the latest pronunciamento
of the PaU MaH Gazette on the land
question. Social-Democrats will
gladly welcome this declaration of
agreement with the Socialist prin-
ciple as embodied in the municipali-
cation or communication of the
Land. The commune or municipal
ity, it is generally admitted by col
lectivists, should be the adminlstra-
tive unit, controlling all purely local
matters, and we agree that the re-
quislte payments should be made to
that body. But, of course, while
admitting that the people must re-
sumo possession of the land, the
Pail Null GazeHe does not at present
90 much beyond that. Our drastic
method of absolutely disalIowing the
preposterous claims of the brlgands
who act as though they themselves
were the creators of the land, buying
and selling, letting and sub-letting
the only source of sustenance for the
whole human race, is by no means
endorsed by our contemporary. The
landlords are to be appropriated, but
by purchase; they are to be convert
ed into stockholders; that is to say
instead of taking their surplus value
in the form of rent they are to take
it as interest. Nevertheless the ad-
mission of the principle of communal
ownership is gain to our cause.
The question of compensation to the
landlords will be decided by future
developments, but if Ireland teaches
us anything, surely it teaches us that
the landlords will never give way
until the people have been forced to
adopt the most extreme measures,
and then they may think themselves
lucky if they save their skins.
The owning and controlling of the
land by the communal authorize.
will not, however, settle the land
question. The soil must be Guilt
waited and the mines worked by the
commune itself. If it is beneficial
to the people that there should be
no private landlords, it certainly
cannot be advantageous that there
should be private capitalists working
the land for their individual gain by
means of wage-slaves paid the lowest
competition price for their labor.
Everyone has a right to employment
and to the full value of his labor,
and it is our duty to rebel against
any system of society which does not
guarantee that right to all alike.
But it is not only a question of right,
it is not only matter of preventing
the tyrrannical appropriation OF the
worker. Farming, to be successful,
must be carried on like other indus
tries, on large scale. The English
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1887-07-09

farmer cannot compete with the
American farmer because his farm
is so very much smaller and bis eX-
penses are, proportionatcIy to the
product, very much greater. He
cannot employ anything like the
amount of machinery the large farm
er uses, nor has he the scientific
knowledge he should have. Accord
ing to Il recent number of La RerHe
SociaiiHe, ABB small owners of the
Werdenberg district have associated
themselves for the common cxploita-
ton Of their land, which under the
old system were divided into LIS
separate parcels. The country being
marshy, IN consequence of the fire.
quent foundations of the Rhine, the
co-operators have ut the common eX-
pcnse proceeded to the mcthodical
drainage of the soil; canals have been
dug and roads laid down. OF course
it will be understood that Social
Democrats insist upon communal in
stead of cooperative management.
and that the Werdenbcrg peasants
do not realize Socialism because they
are engaged in u competitive enter
prise. Nevertheless their scheme is
an example to prove our contention
that the small farmer must 60.
But the communal authorities
must necessarily be in many respects
subordinate to the nation. Agricul-
turc must be organized on a national
system. The most able scientists
must decide as to the methods to be
used in different districts in dealing
with the land; the soil must not be
robbed of its fertility by reckless
treatment as is the case to-day when
farmers do not care in what condi-
ton they leave their land to those
who follow them. Production must
be regulated in such a way that there
will not be, as at present, an insult
ticient output of one commodity and
an excess of another. The question
of sewage will have to be dealt with.
The present enormous and ignorant
waste Of fertilizers cannot be allowed
under a rational system of society.
1t has been estimated that France
wastes five millions sterling a year
by emptying her sewage into the sea
instead of using it to enrich the land.
England probably loses quite as
much. To-day forests and timber
lands are rccklcssly destroyed, rivers
dried up and grain-growing lands
turned into sandy deserts through
the universal absence of system in
dealing with the land, and in order
to crafty individual requirements.
The welfare of the whole people and
of future generations is in no way
considered; the interest of the plum
dering classes is alone regarded. All
this will be changed when the people
take possession of their property.
The ignorant and wasteful mlsman-
ayers of the public domain who seek
only their individual enrichment
will be superseded by scientific and
economical supervisors who have at
heart the prosperity of the nation.
1t will then be possible to produce,
with the least expenditure of labor,
the best of food in abundance for all
honest citizens. flames BlaclWeH, IN

A Battle in the Air.

Have you heard of the "I'rad" of New
Hope church! The night was dark as the
troops of Harlce's corps, four abreast and
stretching for miles, marched nlong II high
way from part of the memorable battle.
stiffness was broken by only til" tramp of in
Vulnerable feet and tho rattle of calttelis
against bayonets. Suddenly in the mir, ten
feet overhead, burst the crashing and tho
slashng of n cavalry battle. lin miciair was
the sound of rushing chargers, the clang Of
saber meeting saber, the roar, the din, every
thing save tho shouts and groans 1t was Il
veritablc battle Of spirits, fought in the dark
hess Just above the Confederate column and
quick as n flash terror seized liar'lce's men.
The great line parted in wild confusion, tho
soldiers dashed into the woods, pursued by
visions of death on the pale horse, until weak
from fright many of them sank to the
ground. The horror Of those brief seconds.
1t was not the crash Of shells and the rattle
of muskctry, as men met men in daylight,
but it was the unseen l,attle of cavalry spirits
III the air 1t was clash us ghost met ghost
No wonder faces blanchel and knees snotc
each other as ears heard What eyes could not
see. After II time the noise died away, the
officers rallied the men and tho march was
Resumed. The soldiers called it "Thc Fraid Of
New Hopc Church" and speak of it to this
day as one Of the awful experiences Of tho
war. 1t is thought the .Fraid' was caused
by some unusual conrmotion somewhere
along the line, and that the cavalry battle
was the echo Of clasling caLbards-Atlanta
